The Family & Team

The Palmaz family, along with their winery and vineyard teams, spends every day
thinking about how to blend technology and tradition to create superior wine.

Christian Gastón Palmaz

Born in San Antonio, Texas, to Argentine parents, Christian, the son of Julio and Amalia Palmaz, knows every acre of the property and plays a key role in the creative team behind the wines.

Christian, who gained an appreciation for food and fine wine early in his youth, is a graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, where he received a bachelor’s degree in business while gaining an interest in geoscience and computer science. His application of highly sophisticated Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the vineyard gives the winemaking team a better understanding of each unique terroir on the property.

“GIS is the future of farming,” he says. “Making good decisions in vineyard management starts with a clear understanding about what’s going on all around the vines.” Christian also created the wine industry’s first fully algorithmic fermentation-control system; streamlining fermentation management via this technology frees winemakers to focus more on creating top quality wine.

Christian is also President and CEO of Vactronix Scientific, a cutting edge material science company based in Silicon Valley focused on enabling revolutionary medical devices.

His other passions include aviation, specializing in flying rotorcraft and holds a FAA commerical certificate. Along with the rest of the Palmaz Family, he lives on the Palmaz estate with his wife, Jessica Louise, and their son, Gastón.
